Essential Test Procedures

VSE1 A Bosch Certified Course

This course has been developed for garage service technicians who carry out any electrical testing or diagnosis on modern vehicle systems. The focus is to provide delegates with a working knowledge of the test procedures that allow correct diagnosis of system and circuit faults.
The theoretical underpinning instruction and practical exercises will provide trainees with sound foundation knowledge of auto electrical principles and fundamental test procedures using digital multi-meters and an oscilloscope. Attendance on
this course is a prerequisite to further attendance and successful development on other vehicle systems courses in the
programme.
It is recommended but not essential that prior to VSE1 you have familiarity with the operation of typical garage test equipment and have attended the relevant equipment operator’s courses.
The course is divided into linked module and subject areas, which allow the essential theory and practical skills knowledge to be delivered effectively.

Modules and subject areas:

  • Electrical properties and values
  • Procedures with test equipment
  • Series and parallel circuits
  • Voltage drop testing
  • Testing continuity, insulation and resistance
  • Circuit symbols and using wiring diagrams
  • Battery technology, test and diagnosis
  • Alternator and starter circuits – operation, test and diagnosis

On successful completion of VSE1 delegates will be able to:

  • Refer to a typical system wiring diagram, identify the electrical components and the current paths connecting them to the control unit(s) of the system.
  • Complete the electrical test procedures for the electrical systems on a typical vehicle or demonstration test circuit
  • Carry out correct test procedures using voltage, resistance, current and voltage drop measurements to determine circuit condition and identify faults which may be present in vehicle system circuits
